A customer would like to set a carattestic for all the widget in a
tree. Is there a way of doing this automaticaly? .
She tried to fetch the widget one at the time, but there was a problem
with the pull down entry that didn't seen to see the pull down menu has
a dependent widget.
I'm sorry for how I explained the problem, I'm not too much in the decw
programming.
The main problem is if there is a way for modifing automatically
a whole tree of widget.
Thanks,
Gea.

re:.0 > The main problem is if there is a way for modifing automatically > a whole tree of widget. If you're talking about setting an attribute for a widget tree at creation time (using UIL and DRM(Mrm)), then there is indeed a simple way to do this. For all of the object declarations in that widget hierarchy, specify the value of the desired argument to be an Identifier. In your source code, just before fetching the top-most object from the UID, register the Identifier with DRM(Mrm) with that value which you wish propagated to all the objects you are about to create.

the right way to do this is at creation time, but if you are doing it
at run time, descend the "children" tree and the "popup children" tree.
Pulldown menus are considered popup children in this context since they
are not true children: their windows are not contained with their
parents, the "X parent window" for popups is the root window.
